After making all connections, plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
When all cables are properly connected, press the POWER button to
turn the monitor on. All front panel indicators will illuminate until the
power-up sequence is complete. After approximately 20 seconds you
should see a display on the screen.
Twisted Pair
Twisted pair is the most popular cabling because it is easy to install and
flexible to work with. It uses the star topology with a concentrator as the
hub of the segment. Each of the network devices is connected directly to
the concentrator so longer lengths of cable are required. A maximum of
100 meters or 328 feet is the longest length of twisted pair cable used.
The number of devices is limited to the amount of connectors at the
concentrator.
Concentrator
The concentrator is simply a transceiver that passes all network data
between any two branches in the LAN. Note that the concentrator passes
all network data between the two branches, regardless of whether or not
one node is sending data to another node on the same branch.
Node
Each network device or node is assigned an address number and requires
a transceiver to interface between the network device and the network.
For thick-net and thin-net cabling a transceiver and a serial drop cable
connects to the main trunk. The serial drop cable is sometimes referred
to as an AUI (attachment unit interface) transceiver cable. For twisted
pair cabling, the transceiver to connected directly to the network device.
For example, one segment may connect all the patient monitors and
central stations in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and another may
connect the monitoring system in the CCU (Critical Care Unit). Each
segment could be a fully-functioning stand-alone system if they were not
connected to each other. However, with a bridge or repeater to connect
the ICU (one segment) with the CCU (the other segment), information
can pass between any of the nodes (patient monitors and central
stations) on either branch similar to a patient transfer from one unit to
another.
Repeater
A repeater is used to extend the length of cabling when the distance
required exceeds the length of the cable specifications. It is simply a
transceiver that passes all network data between any two segments.
Note that the repeater passes all network data between the two
segments, regardless of whether or not the one node is sending data to
another node on the same segment.
Bridge
A bridge is more selective than a repeater with the data that it passes
between segments. It also acts as a transceiver between two segments,
but it only passes signals if a node on one of the segments is attempting
to communicate with a node on the other segment. Since the majority of
communication on the network occurs within a single segment, the
bridge does not pass all of the data from one segment to the other. This
lowers the amount of data traffic passing between segments, and makes
the network more efficient than a system that is connected with
repeaters.
A twisted pair transceiver passes data back and forth between the
network device and the LAN. It is attached directly to the network device
at the at the 15-pin D-type connector. The twisted pair cable is connected
from the RJ-45 connector at the transceiver and the RJ-45 connector at
the concentrator.
NOTE
Some devices (like Octacomm/Solar 8000M patient monitor) have
10BaseT standard, meaning that the RJ-45 connector is part of the
product and the twisted pair transceiver is not required.
NOTE
Refer to the Wireless LAN (Symbol Access Point) Installation and
Service Manual for detailed information on the Symbol Access point.
NOTE
The following is required for the monitor to roam from access point to
access point while maintaining Wireless LAN communication with
the Unity Network.

Battery Power
Introduction
The monitor is designed to operate on battery power during transport or
whenever AC power is interrupted. A complete battery management
system allows you to obtain maximum battery performance. Audible and
visual alarms alert you when loss of power is imminent and on-screen
capacity gauges indicate battery charge condition and capacity.
Depending on usage, you can get up to 2.5 hours of run time per battery
for new, fully-charged batteries. Monitoring NBP, CO2 and SpO2 will
drain battery power faster than other parameters. The display
technology and brightness, graphing, and connection to a wireless
network can also alter battery run times.
NOTE
A “BATTERY LOW” message at the top of the screen warns you prior
to complete loss of battery power. You should replace the battery or
connect the monitor to an AC power source when the message is
displayed.
CAUTION
Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme
conditions. The liquid is caustic to eyes and skin. If the
liquid comes into contact with eyes or skin, flush with
clean water and seek medical attention.
NOTE: For optimal performance and safety, use only batteries supplied
by GE.
The battery compartment is located on the lower left side of the monitor.
Battery indicators let you know when the monitor is using battery power.
634B
WARNING
Make sure the batteries are completely inserted and that
the battery door is securely latched. Falling batteries
could seriously or fatally injure a neonatal patient.
Battery Indicators
Battery indicators are located on the front panel of the monitor. They
alert you to when battery power is being used and the battery charging
status.
Dash 3000 Monitor’s Control Panel Dash 4000 Monitor’s Control Panel
When the monitor is operating under battery power the battery icons will
not be illuminated. The icons are also not illuminated when the
respective battery is either not being charged, not installed, or has failed.
The capacity gauges are filled in from left to right proportional with the
battery charge level. The solid portion represents the Full Charge
Capacity of the battery as a percentage of its Design Capacity.
809A
Lithium-Ion Battery
The Lithium-Ion battery is a rechargeable battery containing Lithium-
Ion cells. Each battery contains an integrated electronic fuel gauge and a
safety protection circuit.
Charging Guideline
Use the Cadex SMart Two+ charger to charge the battery instead of
charging the battery inside the monitor.
The Cadex SMart Two+ charger maintains a lower battery cell
temperature during the charge cycle than the monitor. This
reduction in temperature will extend the life of the battery.
The Cadex SMart Two+ charger charges one battery in less than 4
hours and two batteries in less than 8 hours. When two batteries are
used, the charger applies half of the charging current to each battery.
Conditioning Guideline
Remove the battery from the monitor every six months and condition it
using the Cadex SMart Two+ charger.
This condition cycle recalibrates the electronic fuel gauge.
Storage Guidelines
1. Do not purchase more batteries than you will use in one year. The
battery does not have an indefinite shelf-life.
2. Condition the battery before storing it. Conditioning the battery to
100% capacity increases the storage shelf-life of the battery.
3. Store the battery outside of the monitor at a temperature between
20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
When the battery is stored inside a monitor that is powered by an
AC power source, the battery cell temperature increases by 10°C
to 15°C (18°F to 27°F) above the room’s ambient temperature.
This reduces the life of the battery.
When the battery is stored inside a monitor that is continuously
powered by an AC power source and is not powered by battery on
a regular basis, the life of the battery may be less than 12
months. GE recommends that you remove the battery and store
it near the monitor until it is needed for transport.
4. Re-condition a stored battery every six months to increase the
storage shelf-life.
A battery that has 100% Design Capacity and is charged to 100% of this
capacity lasts approximately 2.5 hours. However, as the Full Charge
Capacity declines, the approximate run time of a fully charged battery
will decrease.

Battery Maintenance
How to Charge the Battery
The battery can be charged by one of two methods:
Outside of a monitor by using the Cadex SMart Two+ charger.
Inside a monitor that is connected to an AC power source.
NOTE
To extend the life of the battery, GE recommends that you charge
the battery using the external Cadex SMart Two+ charger.
NOTE
To extend the life of the battery, GE recommends that you
condition the battery using the external Cadex SMart Two+
charger.
3. Remove the battery from the battery charger when the RUN LED
illuminates. This completes the conditioning cycle.
WARNING
PATIENT RISK HAZARD — Never condition a battery
while the monitor is connected to a patient. Serious
injury or death could result.
Complete the following steps to manually condition the battery using the
monitor:
1. Insert the battery into the battery charger and wait for the RUN
LED light to illuminate (approximately three minutes).
2. If the RUN LED light does NOT illuminate, complete the following
steps:
a. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
b. Re-insert the battery into the battery charger and let the battery
trickle charge for two to three minutes while the FAIL LED
flashes. (If the RUN LED light illuminates, ignore it.)
c. Watch the battery charger LEDs and immediately remove the
battery from the battery charger when the FAIL LED stops
flashing AND remains illuminated, OR when both the RUN and
CONDITION LEDs flash.
d. Wait for one to two seconds, then re-insert the battery into the
battery charger. The RUN and CONDITION LEDs will flash for
five to ten seconds while the charger initializes the battery. If the
FAIL LED illuminates, remove the battery and re-insert it into
the battery charger.
e. Watch the battery charger LEDs. The RUN LED should stop
flashing and remain illuminated for approximately one minute
later the CONDITION LED should stop flashing. At this time,
the battery is awake and being charged.

Repair Log
Service Menus
There are two distinct service menus for the monitor. The Service Mode
menu is found in the monitor’s Main Menu and is used for various
functions like calibration, graph tests, and downloading monitor
interface software. The Boot Loader Service Menu is found in the Boot
Code and is used when downloading the Boot Code and main processor
code.
Both service menus are generally used by qualified field engineers and
factory service personnel to troubleshoot, repair, or download new
software to the patient monitor.
WARNING
The Boot Loader Service Menu and the Service Mode
menu is intended for qualified personnel only. It is
possible to lose patient data, damage the operating
software for this monitor, and even affect the Unity
Network. Do not ‘experiment’ with any commands found
in the service menus.
WARNING
Duplication of an Internet address on a network
causes data loss and possible Unity Network
problems. If you change the factory assigned Internet
address, you must record all other Internet addresses
used on your network to avoid duplication.
SHOW INSTALL OPTIONS This option lists the options installed on the monitor.
VIDEO TEST SCREENS Various color screens for testing the display.
WAKE UP BATTERY This option is used when the battery is dead. Refer to
“Battery Messages Displayed in the Battery Fuel
Gauge Icon” on page 5-13.
WARNING
The Service Mode menu is intended for use only by
qualified service technicians. Experimentation with
service mode menu option items can be detrimental to
the monitor. Lost patient data, damaged operating
system software for the monitor, even network related
problems are but a few examples of problems that can be
induced as the result of tampering with service mode
menu option items.
1. Select MORE MENUS > MONITOR SETUP > SERVICE MODE >
2. Enter password using the Trim Knob control to select the day and
month from monitor screen with leading zeros. (e.g. July 4 = 0407).
030B
The service technician can use the Service Mode menu to:
relay software information to design engineers;
calibrate and troubleshoot NBP functions of the monitor;
set admit menu options, operating mode of the monitor, and monitor
default password;
configure the monitor unit name, bed number and Internet address
for use on the network; and
enter or change the time and date on the monitor.
WARNING
Some of the service mode menu option items are to be
used only by qualified service technicians and others are
for general use. Because of this, unnecessary tampering
with service mode menu option items for experimentation
purposes is not recommended by GE and may cause a
malfunction of the monitor.
Patient-Monitor Type Select the type of monitor desired, i.e adult, neonatal
or operating room. Refer to Chapter 6,
“Configuration” for detailed procedures.
WARNING
Changing the patient-monitor type will default the
admit function to Standard configuration. Different
alarms and parameters are activated for each
selection.
NOTE
The keypad/remote control is DIDCA programmed for specific
monitor types. The error message, “WARNING: REMOTE
MISMATCHED WITH MONITORING MODE” displays if the
monitor and keypad/remote control do not match.
WARNING
Duplication of an internet (IP) address on a network
causes lost data. If you change the factory assigned
internet address, you must first record all other
internet addresses used on your network to avoid
duplication.
NOTE
An incorrect internet address may also prevent the monitor
from viewing other monitors on the network even though the
unit names match. Whether or not this can occur depends on
the network topology at the installed site.
COPY UNIT DEFAULTS This menu option is used to copy monitor defaults
from one monitor to another monitor. Refer to
Chapter 6, “Configuration” for detailed procedures.
GRAPH TEST PATTERN This menu selection allows you to run a graph test
pattern. The choices are Start and Stop.
TIME AND DATE This menu selection allows changes to the time and
date and may affect the time and date for the entire
monitoring network. (Refer to Chapter 6,
“Configuration” for detailed procedures.)
WARNING
Loss of patient history. This menu should rarely be
used because patient histories will be lost.
Review Errors
The Review Errors menu is an advanced troubleshooting tool used by GE
engineering personnel. Some of the information recorded in the monitor
error log can be useful for field service troubleshooting.
NOTE
The Unity Network software option must be enabled in order to
download the error log over the network to a central station.
6. The View Input Errors menu causes a Run Time Error Log pop-up
window to appear on the monitor display. The pop-up window now
displays input software errors and provides basically the same
information as the View Output Errors pop-up window provided. The
appearance of both pop-up windows are similar, the difference being
errors that are logged as input versus output to/from the monitor.
7. To clear out the stored run time error logs, use the Trim Knob
control to select the CLEAR OUTPUT ERRORS or CLEAR INPUT
ERRORS menu, respectively.
Immediately after you clear one of the error logs, a message appears
on the upper right side of the display. The message verifies the
actuation of the Trim Knob control for this function.
When using the error log to troubleshoot a problem with the monitor, the
following parameters from the pop-up window that are of greatest
interest are as follows.

Error logs contain more than just operating system errors. Many events
that occur that might have an impact upon the system are entered into
the log. These logs may be requested by Tech Support on occasion to aid
in troubleshooting the monitor. The logs are developed to aid engineering
for internal diagnostics of the monitor. Contact Tech Support if you need
clarification of any of the error logs.
Error Description

transferred over the network to a central station and copied onto diskette
for further review or sent to GE personnel for review. The transferring
procedure “Copying Error Log Files” is described later in this chapter.
WARNING
This procedure is intended for use by service personnel
with advanced troubleshooting skills.
Some of the information recorded in the error logs is useful for field
troubleshooting. The details included here serve as an introduction to the
error logs and provide basic information about what you can learn from
them.
1. Access Review Errors starting from the Main Menu. Select MORE
MENUS > MONITOR SETUP > SERVICE MODE.
2. Enter password using the Trim Knob control to select the day and
month from monitor screen with leading zeros. (e.g. July 4 = 0407)
The menu provides four error log choices, two for viewing error logs and
two for clearing the error logs.
The View Output Errors provides a list of output software errors; the
View Input Errors provides a list of input software errors.
2. To clear all the errors in the error log, select CLEAR OUTPUT
ERRORS or CLEAR INPUT ERRORS menu option. Be aware that
once the clear menu option is executed, all selected errors in memory
are erased.

Process Name
The name of the software task that was operating when the event/
problem occurred.
Error Code
The error log contains more than just operating system errors. Many
events that have an impact upon the system are also entered into the log.
70B Internet address was changed. The network address for the monitor
was changed. This should only be done by qualified service
personnel.
70C Video test was completed. This test should only be performed by
qualified service personnel.
70E Time was changed from this monitor. This helps determine how the
system-wide time may have been altered.
70F Date was changed from this monitor. This helps determine how the
system-wide date was altered.
NOTE
The monitor may be referred to as a display or scope in the error code
descriptions.
Severity
Severity is a measure of how the event/error affected the system. There
are three levels of severity.
Continue—the event/error was logged, the task may have or may not
have been finished, but the system was able to go on. Most log entries
will have a severity of Continue.
Fatal—the event/error was such that the task is not able to go on.
Recovery was not possible. This always is followed by a WARM
START.
Forced Restart—the system was restarted by a known condition
(internet address change, video test, etc).
Error Number
A sequential number that is used to identify each event/problem.
The following procedure describes how to copy the patient monitor and
parameter module error logs and then transfer them to a diskette at the
Centralscope central station. To transfer error files from a Clinical
Information Center (CIC), refer to the GE Prism Information Field
Service Manual.
Once the desired error log is selected it can be copied over the network to
a floppy diskette in the central station’s floppy diskette drive. Since the
error logs are text files they can be read into other computers and using
most text editors or word processing applications.
CAUTION
This procedure is intended for use by service personnel
with advanced troubleshooting skills. Do not
“experiment” with these commands! The consequences of
misuse include loss of patient data, corruption of the
central station operating software, or disruption of the
entire Unity Network.

Hardware Calibration
There are NO FIELD ADJUSTMENTS or calibration for the following
hardware components:
Processor PCB
DAS PCB
Power Supply PCB
Display - color
Writer Assembly
Perform the NBP and End-tidal CO2 software calibration upon receipt of
the equipment, every 12 months thereafter, and each time the unit is
opened for service. This ensures the pneumatic circuit plumbing has not
developed any air leaks as a result of disassembly. Perform the analog
output ECG and analog output BP software calibration only if these did
NOT pass the analog output checkout procedure.
NBP Calibration
In General
The overall accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure (NBP) readings by
the monitor depend on the following:
the zero pressure reading, and
the voltage span of the NBP sensor in the monitor.
The table below lists items for connecting the NBP tube between the
manometer and NBP cuff:
WARNING
When the NBP cuff is used in this procedure, it must be
tightly wrapped around a rigid cylinder or pipe. DO NOT
put the NBP cuff around a human arm during the
calibration procedures due to the potential for injury.
Calibration Procedure
Using the Trim Knob control, access the Service Mode menu starting
from the Main Menu.
When the process is complete, the menu item shows that it is OFF
again.
3
4. The second line of text on the Cal Gain menu item changes from Cal
Gain Holding to Cal Gain Inflating. The monitor starts pumping up
the pressure bulb or cuff—the audible whirring sound of the NBP
pump motors occurs and an increase in displayed pressures on both
the monitor and the manometer can be observed.
5. The pump shuts off at about 250 mmHg, and the pressure drops
slowly to about 240 mmHg before stabilizing. The second line of text
on the Cal Gain menu item changes from Inflating back to Holding .
If the pressure continues to drop at a rate of 1 mmHg or more for
every five seconds, there is a leak in the NBP plumbing. If there is a
leak in the NBP plumbing, repair it and restart this calibration
procedure.
6. Select ENTER CAL PRESSURE and use the Trim Knob control to
select a pressure value that is 1 mmHg lower than the current
manometer reading. When the manometer falls to exactly the value
that you selected in the pop-up window, press the Trim Knob
control to enter the value.
7. Select CHECK CAL OFF-> START.
8. The text on the menu item changes from Check Cal Off to Check Cal
In Progress. Verify the pressure readings (shown as Cuff in the NBP
parameter box) on the monitor and manometer are equal (± 1 mmHg)
for AT LEAST one full minute.

Introduction
Included in this section is the Theory of Operation along with upper level
assembly drawings. These drawings provide reference for major
components of the monitor in the form of mechanical and electrical
diagrams.
The assembly drawings for all of the monitors configurations are broken
down as follows:
Parts Lists — These lists provide part number and descriptive cross-
reference to all parts and subassemblies found in each of the drawings.
Theory Of Operation
Components
The monitor is housed in a single package. The main components of the
assembly are:
Power Supply,
Data Acquisition System,
Processor/Power Management subsystem (including battery case and
expansion connector),
Speaker,
Handle subassembly (including the Alarm Light option), and
Thermal Printer (optional).
516A
Power Supply
The subsystems within the monitor operate from a common 9 to 18 V
power bus. Due to the wide variety of voltages required by the various
subsystems, power is converted locally by each subsystem. This
architecture results in an efficient and compact system by reducing the
number of conversions required and optimizing the physical size of each
converter for the specific application.
The line voltage range switch must be set to select 115 V or 230 V (90 to
132 VAC or 190 to 264 VAC, respectively).
NOTE
The monitor supports two SPO2 configurations, GE SPO2 and
Masimo SET SPO2.

DAS Block Diagram with Masimo SET SPO2 and 4 BP SuperStat Channels
Revision A
Assembly Drawings: Theory Of Operation
The DAS system block diagram with Masimo SET SPO2 and four
SuperStat BP channels consists of the following three sections.
Section Description
Non-Isolated Includes ECG and Main DAS isolation power conversion circuitry,
circuits serial and parallel host interfaces and NBP pump, valves, and
over-pressure circuitry.
Block Diagram
Main Microcontroller
The microcontroller contains two processors:
a true internal and external 32-bit CPU core, and
a communications processor module (CPM).
The CPM contains an 8 Kb dual port RAM to communicate with the CPU
core, and once configured communicates with external devices with
minimum CPU intervention. External logic is reduced by the internal
memory controllers and a system interface unit which provides a clock
synthesizer and timers used in this design. Writer communications is
supported by direct memory access and processing performance is
enhanced by 4-kilobyte instruction and data caches.
Memory
Eight Mb of non-volatile memory are provided to support the boot code
and expansion memory such as high resolution graphic trends data
storage. The 512 Kb boot block is write protected.
Real-Time Clock
The real-time clock incorporates an on-board quartz crystal. This feature
simplifies the design and eliminates adjustments. The time of day is
maintained to an accuracy of 15 seconds in 24 hours to support 24 hour
trend data. The RTC device is one of the devices on the I2C bus.
Audio Subsystem
Audio tones are generated using a tone generator, an audio amplifier,
and an 8Ω, 2.5-in. speaker. The tone generator has built in D/A
converters and a mixer to generate the dual frequency tones.
Frequencies ranging from 150 Hz to 2800 Hz are produced.
Video Subsystem
The microprocessor contains a video controller that supports real-time
and non-real-time waveform drawing, menu drawing, and parameter
display.
Analog Outputs
Two analog output channels support ECG and BP. The pace pulse is
generated on the main processor board and inserted into the analog out
ECG signal. The digital-to-analog conversion for both ECG and blood
pressure output signals are performed on the main processing board via
a two channel 12-bit serial DAC. Cal data is stored on the processor/
power management PCB.
Defib Sync
The QRS complex of ECG data acquired from the DAS generates the
marker-out signal. A software selectable pulse width and pulse
amplitude is provided in the Boot Loader Menu.
PC Card
The main processor contains a PC Card controller, which complies with
the PCMCIA standard. One 68-pin fully compliant Type II PC Card slot
is supported in this design for RF LAN.
DAS Communication
The microprocessor communicates with the DAS processor using the
second serial communication controller (SCC) of the communication
processor module (CPM). This asynchronous communication channel
operates at TTL levels and is optically isolated within the DAS.
NOTE
Power is not provided in the twisted pair interface as in the
attachment user interface (AUI) of other monitoring products.
Ethernet Priority
Ethernet communications are prioritized in the following order.
Async Communication
Two asynchronous communication ports comply with the GEMMS
AutoPort protocol and are provided through an 8-pin RJ-45 connector
and the 20-pin peripheral interface described in the next section.
Three diagnostic LEDs located along the front edge of the board are
provided for general purpose use and are under software control. The
LEDs interface directly to port A of the microprocessor. A flashing green
LED indicates normal monitoring operation.
The monitor uses a “point of use” power conversion architecture with +9-
18 V being the main power distribution bus.
Each one of the four outputs are individually current limit protected
against overload and short circuit.
In the monitor, the printer module limits its current consumption to stay
within its allocated system power budget.
Speaker
The speaker is used for audible notification of alarms.
Handle Subassembly
The handle serves multiple purposes in the monitor. The modular design
enables the user to add adapters for specialized applications.
The Dash 3000 handle houses the optional alarm light. This light is
visible for 360° surrounding the monitor. The light is intended for
applications when the audible notification is not useful or effective, such
as noisy environments (e.g., emergency vehicles) or quiet environments
(e.g., neonatal care areas). The alarm light indicates two levels of visual
alarms:
Crisis alarms (red LED) and
Warning alarms (amber LED).
The handle also houses the two RF LAN antennas required for the
optional RF LAN subsystem.
Interfaces
Ethernet
The Ethernet RJ-45 connector provides a hardware connection to the
optional Unity Network. The monitor has a built-in transceiver for
twisted-pair wire. Basic insulation (1500 VAC) isolates the monitor from
networked devices.
AUX
The AUX RJ-45 connector provides an asynchronous communication
connection to devices within the bedside care area. Basic insulation (1500
VAC) isolates the monitor from other devices.
Defib Sync
The Defib Sync connector provides signals needed to perform
synchronized cardioversion with a defibrillator. The Marker Out signal is
a pulse with selectable amplitude and width that coincides with the
patient’s ECG R-wave. The Marker In signal is returned to the monitor
by the defibrillator. The Marker In signal causes the monitor to insert a
defib marker in the displayed ECG waveform.
This connector also provides two analog signals: ECG and invasive
pressure. The monitor provides the top displayed ECG signal with
reconstructed pace pulses. You can use this signal to trigger a
defibrillator or intra-aortic balloon pump. BP1 produces the pressure
signal and is intended for triggering an intra-aortic balloon pump.
Peripheral Expansion
A port is provided for expansion. Asynchronous communication,
Ethernet (shared with the Ethernet RJ-45 connector), 9-18 V power, 5 V
power, and discrete I/O signals are provided in the interface. The
expansion connector pairs with the AC mains power inlet to supply
power to the monitor through a peripheral device.
To display the revision of the currently stored code, access the submenu
of the main application’s Monitor Setup menu.
Monitor Settings
The processor/power management PCB stores default monitor settings in
non-volatile memory. The user must restore the original settings if
replacing the board.
Calibration Data
Calibration factors for NBP and CO2 are stored in non-volatile memory
on the DAS board.
Calibration factors for the analog output signals are stored in non-
volatile memory on the processor/power management PCB.
Error Log
50 input errors and 50 output errors are retained in static RAM backed
up by a lithium battery soldered onto the processor/power management
PCB. Contents are retained for at least five years, provided that you
exercise caution when you handle the board to prevent inadvertently
discharging the battery (e.g. when you ship the board for problem
diagnosis).

measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the equipment.
bOver the frequency range 150 KHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the
recommended separation distance [d] in meters (m) can be estimated
using the equitation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter,
where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts
(W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE:
These guidelines may not apply in all instances. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
WARNING
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity performance of the equipment or
system.
NOTE:
Any supplied accessories that do not affect EMC compliance are not
included.
